The third Nakshatra of Rahu is Satbhishak in Aquarius. Lord of Aquarius is Saturn another
Rudra governed by Lord Shiva, the Maha Rudra. Saturnian sign Aquarius teaches the individual
that his body etc should be considered merely as a channel for the fulfillment of the Divine will
and all that he has achieved should be used for the benefit of the world. Personalism gives way to
impersonalism. VGaruna the presiding deity over the asterism has the responsibility of purifying
the soul and cleaning it by removing all the traces of Avidya i.e. ignorance. In critical times
when the individual is unable to bear the sieving action of Varuna he looks downward that is, he
does not call for the divine assistance but looks for his own faults. In other words the ego again
tries to seek the help of its unique ray.
It would be clear from the above that Rahu is not actually the demon but an enlightened demon
who is determined to have its divinity back. The sacrifice, however big it may be, is his least
concern.
Rahu like Ketu is also a Karmik planet. While Ketu being a store house can be taken as the
Karmik (intake) planet and Rahu the active and distributing. Their effects may be termed as
Karmik (distribution). Their sign depositors can also be classified like this. The sign lords of
Ketu and Rahu on the same analogy are termed as Karmik planet (inlet) and Karmik planet
(distribution).
As regards the houses affected by these Karmik Grahas some eminent astrologers say that their
influence is in the houses 1, 3 and 5 from them. This is perhaps on the basis that the later eminent
astrologers have granted them some aspect. Much work on this point has not been done so far. It
is therefore, difficult to agree or disagree with these assertions. As these nodes work through the
planets related to them either as sign lords or by association or aspects, we have good reason to
believe that the planets show the house affected by the nodes.
The nodes are always retrograde in motion indicating that they relate to the past rather than the
present. On this analogy all the retrograde planets at the time of the birth should be treated as the
karmik planets. Much research work is required for the purpose.
The sign of the zodiac containing the Nakshatras of Rahu are all airy signs which have
their effects on mind. As Rahu governs or controls the part that rules over the entire body it
does create material condition conductive to the actions it proposes to take by the actions of the
individual. The individual behaves in a way that the required material conditions are produced
for him to take punishment or reward as the case may be, for its action.

Rahu is compared with Saturn. Saturn is a slow moving planet having many faces (masks) to get
its work done ultimately. Rahu is not slow like Saturn but it does have many masks and it uses
them as and when required. Saturn is non- sparing body and so is also Rahu. Both try to clear off
the Karmik impediments that stand in the way of the individual to unite with the original self.
They are cruel but their cruelty is for making the individual better.
Rahu like Saturn is considered to be a liar. In fact none of them is liar. They only keep their cards
close to their chest. The individual mis-understands and misinterprets the situation and
